Apples from Cervelli Farm
It is already Week 25 of the Old Rochester Farmers' Market. Hard to believe it has almost been a half-year of celebrating some of the best that the South Coast has to offer in local foods. This week is no exception. We are gathering at the Old Rochester Junior High School from 3-6:30 pm with an amazing array of locally grown fruits and vegetables, breads and treats, meats and cheeses, jams and jellies, honey and seasonings, soaps and clothing, and doggie treats and doggie beds, too! This market offers that all important around the perimeter of the grocery store shopping, with some wonderful in the aisle items, as well. The Old Rochester Farmers' Market is a great way to get that shopping done, while keeping your purchases local--a great way to help preserve the beautiful South Coast landscape we all love. By supporting your local farmer, you are helping them keep their land agricultural, and not forcing them to sell it for development. Thank you for coming out to the ORFM to support local agriculture.
